Is it possible to steal Tengu's Sword without angering the UC

[legeis90]

So I am allied with the UC in my current playthrough.... for now at least. But I want Tengu's sword now I know messing with Tengu gets you automatic -100 with the UC

Is it possibel using stealth or something to steal his sword without anyone noticing? If it is possible would the fact I'm carying a "Stolen" weapon get me into trouble anyways? If I sold it to a fence then bought it back would that work.... So many questions here.

TL;DR is it possible to get the Meitou Katana and remain allies with the UC?

You can steal from sleeping npc. Don't equip stolen gears in the same town until you've left the place once.

Sneak into his house, knock his butt out when he goes to bed, loot the sword, sneak back out. Knock as many of his guards out as possible too, then steal all their gear and put it in a random box for fun and bonus points, make sure to steal all Tengu's rugs and junk as well, just to drive the point home that he's nothing special. Requires decent stealth and assassination skills.

To get rid of the "stolen" tag, drop the sword into a weapon storage box that you own. Ditto with stolen armor, drop it in a armor crate you own to get rid of the tag.

Yes, you can get all the Nobles weapons and stay allied with them if you like as long as you aren't spotted in the act of knocking em out and stealing their stuff. Personally, I kidnap Tengu and all the UC nobles then drop them naked in the middle of the largest fogman camp I can find. Their cries of pain as they're devoured are music to my ears, they have it coming to em.

Well I'm not quite sure how I want to repaint the map yet on this play through yet.... It's still relitively early on this play through and being allied with UC early game is useful. Also I like selling Hanash to the UC.... I knnda think it be funny to kidnap tengu and the HN high priest dude whats his name.... and lock them up together and see what happens.

The noble guards and some of the nobles have high toughness though. Makes Knocking out diffcult.
